Hey Guys,
thanks for the welcome.

My baby is an E39 M5, 1999 model, in Night Blue, think its an individual color. Looks like it was imported from Monaco in 2007, it has 170k on the clock.

she is definitely a fixer, the interior is well worn in, but comfortable as you expect, feels like wearing your favorite shoes when you sit inside.

Mods, she doesn't have any except maybe an ACS exhaust of those could just be the mufflers, not had chance to get under her yet to verify.

Issues:

Radio, keeps cutting out, but thinking dynavin swap out, need a new amp as mine is DSP and dynavin needs a different one.
Door actuator problem, Bruno gave me a link but i am not sure i am wanting to do this myself just now as the requirement is to go in through the airbag, explosives :(
wheels, they are peeling, undecided on course of action yet.
Coil-overs and bushes later this year.
Thinking UUC shorts shift kit -
Have a steering vibration between 80 - 120, could just need balancing.
Have some "whining/low" when driving, maybe gearbox, but feels ok, usual play in the long throw, or prop shaft maybe.
Missing guard on top of drivers door window, so a little wind noise coming from that.
Brake discs will be changed all round as there is a slight judder on breaking.

sounds a lot, but she drives okay and handles pretty well, she will be a long term project as the missus is putting a firm foot down with the flat of her hand :) well she did let me swap her SL500 for it :) lol.....

Any comments, thoughts etc would be appreciated and DAS will be getting a visit for a full scan so i can start getting parts in then maybe have her done in one go :)

any thoughts on the best colour, i was thinking of maybe foiling/painting her at some point.

Cheers
Mark.
